Saint Petersburg builds strong heavyweight roster, most competitive since Red Devil

Saint Petersburg has assembled a notable heavyweight team, described as the strongest composition since the legendary Red Devil gym 20 years ago. The current roster includes Kirill Kornilov (18-3), Alexander Maslov (12-1), Anton Vinnikov (18-5), Daniil Matsola (7-0), Artem Dushenko at 93 kg (6-3), Dmitry Baboryko (2-0), separately Denis Goltsov (36-9), and regularly visiting Anton Vyazigin (17-6). Most of these fighters compete in ACA, which creates tough competition and inevitable losses, but those who succeed there can be considered strong fighters at the world level. Two upcoming interesting matchups are highlighted: Kirill Kornilov vs Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs Khadis Ibragimov, with Ibragimov also having developed as a professional in Saint Petersburg.
